england, another one coming out west and cold snap down south. ginger zee, our in-house action figure covering it all. >> i would really like ab action figure doll. can you find that? we want to start in detroit. on i-75 all parts of southeast manager package were a mess. lake-effect and some enhanced snow from a little upper air disturbance the either way look what happened. this happened in tloed dough, parts of pennsylvania too so it was not just in michigan but disasterous for the roads, charlotte, north carolina, fast's right, charlotte had three inches of snow. so it was a mess on their roadways too. that is that low pressure system that has now tracked over the ocean and will clip boston and the cape. it's been more than two years by the way since charlotte had that type of accumulating snow. from montauk and providence, hyannis, 6 to 9 inch range. boston, three to 6 inches a week after we had all the snow last weekend and if you don't have the snow you have the cold.

it feels like 16 if philly this morning. 1, pittsburgh. detroit windchill is zero and freeze warnings and windchill warnings. i'll have so much more coming up on that storm in the west but for now back to bianna. >> freezing in florida, not something you see every day. thank you. we're hearing this morning from the families of both oscoscar pistorius and of his model girlfriend who pistorius is accused of killing on valentine's day. the olympian's family insists the shooting was a terrible accident. meantime, riva's father is also spreeing out with a somewhat surprising statement of sympathy. abc's bazi kanani has more from pretoria, south africa. >> reporter: for the first time the pistorius family comes forward to personally defend their world famous relative suddenly accused of murder. >> as you can imagine is also numb with shock and grief. >> reporter: oscar pistorius's

friends and families believe he mistook his girlfriend telling "the sunday telegraph" when you are a sportsman you act mon on instinct. things happen and that's what you did. his best friend said he called him after the shooting to say there's been a terrible accident, i shot reeva. >> i can promise you with the knowledge i have he will come out right. >> reporter: prosecutors disagree he is not a murderer and say neighbors reported hearing an argument at the house just hours before the shooting and police sources told local media reeva was shot through the bathroom door where she may have been trying to hide to save herself. among her father's few comments to reporters. we ask the lord every day to help us find a reason this should happen to reeva, the memory of their daughter lives on on national tv where the

reality show she recently taped premiered this weekend with a special tribute and telling last words. >> i think the way that you go off, must the way you go out, make your exit is so important, even made an impact in a positive or negative way but just maintaining secrecy and just always treat yourself. >> reporter: steenkamp's father expressed sympathy for pistorius saying there was to hatred in his heart. it will stay here until his bail hearing tuesday where we expect to learn pore de tays of the evidence police have been gathering. dan? >> striking comments from her father. thank you. now to an abc news exclusive, the mother who says her 2-year-old child was slapped by a fellow passenger on the flight facing a federal charge that could land him in prison and gio benitez is on the story. >> good morning, dan, bianna. mom says the man not only

traumatized her adopted son with a painful smack but called the boy a name so many consider us deplorable. jonah is 19 months old but at the center of an fbi investigation. agents accusing this man, 60-year-old joe hundley, a stranger, of smacking the boy on a delta flight from minneapolis to atlanta. the boy's mother jessica bennett speaking exclusively to abc news. she showed us how she says hundley assaulted her child. >> well, he had his hand out like that and so it was, you know, it it came down that way at jonah's high item rear. >> reporter: it all allegedly started in row 28 of the plane. jessica and jonah had the aisle sit, hundley the wind. >> jonah starts crying feeling the pressure in his ears. >> reporter: that's when according to court documents hundley told mom to "shut that "n" word baby up. >> i said, what did you just say? and he was so drunk that he fell

on to my face and his mouth moved over to my ear and he said it just directly into my ear. >> reporter: then she says the unthinkable happened. hundley hit little jonah. >> when i had looked at jonah's face, he had -- his eye was swollen here and it was bleeding. i was just scared to death. >> i wonder whether it was the crying that upset him or whether it was the color of the boy's skin that upset them. >> reporter: hundley is president of an aircraft parts company in idaho. he's been charged with assaulting a minor. his employer telling us we have suspended the employee pending investigation. this morning little jonah's dad has a message for hundley. >> i hope he's embarrassed, you know, i hope he feels ashamed. >> reporter: hundley's attorney told abc news nobody should rush to judgment just yet. he will plead not guilty but mom's attorney told us that among the witnesses on that flight was a federal air

marshal. >> i don't know if i could be that restrained as a husband. we were talking about this for quite a while. incredible story. >> it really is but her father -- the child's father was actually not there on that flight and he said he is not sure he would be able to. >> gio, thank you very much. >> we'll turn now to politics as details of president obama's proposal for immigration reform have begun leaking out including a plan that could pave the way for citizenship. reena ninan joins us from the white house with that story. >> reporter: hi, bianna. the white house has been working on its own immigration reform bill but hasn't publicly reve revealed its details opting instead to allow congress to act first. it's a supposed white house plan for comprehensive immigration reform. republicans are already calling it dead on arrival.

seriously flawed. "usa today" claims a leak draft proposal circulating throughout various departments would allow illegal immigrants to obtain green cards within eight years and calls for increased border patrol funding, and expanded e-verify system so businesses can check employees' legal status. republicans didn't hesitate to voice their discontent. marco rubio said "if actually proposed, the president's bill would be dead on arrival in congress sleeving us with unsecured borders 'and broken legal immigration system for years to come." the white house has not publicly released the language for the bill but the president had warned congress he's poised to act if they don't move quickly on immigration reform. >> if congress is unable to move forward in a timely fashion, i will send up a bill based on my proposal. >> reporter: overnight the white house also rooshed this statement "the president has made clear the principles upon

which he believes any commonsense immigration reform effort should be based. we continue to work in support of a bipartisan effort." the president with democratic senators here at the white house on wednesday. they're working on bipartisan legislation and they hope to have something to push forward in march. the president also telling univision going beyond that deadline would be a problem. bianna. >> i'll take it from here. will something actually get done on this issue? let's go to jon karl in washington filling if for stephanopoulos on "this week." hey, jon, given the unfriendly back and forth we heard from reena. any potential for compromise on the path to citizen zip? >> certainly is not a good sign, dan. there certainly is still potential for compromise. in fact, before this story broke thingsing looked really good on immigration. you had a bipartisan group in the senate, coming to agreement on a broad set of principles and sounding very positive and i'm getting something through but marco rubio is the path to immigration bill for this white

house. and to have marco rubio coming out the way he did last night in response to this proposal and saying, it is seriously flawed dead on arrival in congress, major, major setback. the white house was doing this without any input from any republicans and they're really upset about it. they've got some damage control to do this morning. >> jon, the other battle over chuck hagel, the president's choice for defense second. republicans in the senate temporarily blocked his nomination. how rare is that and what does that say about the likelihood he'll get the job? >> well, it's extremely rare. i have to say this is one of the most bizarre episodes i have covered in congress because you had republicans blocking his nomination, blocking the vote on his nomination. but saying that when they come back from their recess next week, that they will no longer block it. so it looks like he will get through without any problem but whenever there's a delay there are questions raised. not a sure thing raising a question what they're trying to accomplish with a delay of a

week or two ands that where it stands right now. >> indication of how partisan things are in washington right now. jon, thanks so much. great to see you. a couple of very big names on jon's show, republican congressman and former vice presidential candidate paul ryan and newly appointed white house chief of staff denis mcdonough coming up on "this week." to ron claiborne for a look at the other headlines. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with news about a new pope and when that pope may be chosen. the vatican hinting it maybegin the process earlier than expected. abc's david wright joins us from rome now where pope benedict is celebrating his second to last sunday as head of the roman catholic church. david? >> reporter: good morning, ron. the pope just finished his week liang lust and only one more time will he appear in that window, so a huge crowd gathered here at st. peter's square today but behind the scenes the focus has turned to choosing his successor. the vatican spokesman yesterday floating a trial balloon suggesting the conclave to

choose a new pope could take place before march 15th. some say that's just common sense because there's no funeral this time, no period of mourning and all the cardinals will presumably be in town to say good-bye to pope benedict. but in other quarters of the church that trial balloon is being shot down faster than an old-school nun might wrap you on the knuckles. an influential american saying that this process takes place according to strict church law and only the pope can change that law. if this pope were to change the law now he says that would cause many people to say he's choosing one side or favoring one side over another. >> thank you for that. the recent surge in gas prices is showing no signs of slowing down. they have soared 1 crepes a gallon in the past week and 42 cents in the last month. national average is now 3.71 for a gallon of regular gasoline. the rise in price of oil is mainly to blame.

gas prices typically don't begin rising like this until late in march. and firefighters in new jersey are honoring the victims of the sandy hook massacre and planning to build 26 playgrounds to memorialize each victim of the tragedy. the playgrounds located in the areas in new jersey, new york and connecticut. they were hit hardest by super storm sandy. the firefighters hope to raise $2 million for this project. and the final tally is in for florida's python hunt. only 68 burmese pythons were caught in the month-long competition after 1600 participants covered a million acres. the top hunter $1500 for bagging 18 snakes. official estimate as many as thousands are living there a threat to native mammals. hundreds lined up to see the newest attraction at seattle's woodland park zoo. these four african lion cubs made their public debut. the cubs were born in november
